Save early, save often
The sooner you start, the more your savings can grow. Saving $100 a month could yield nearly $40,000 after 18 years. With Invest529, you can save in a variety of ways at amounts that work for your budget. Even small investments can go a long way.
Contributing to an Invest529 Account
How can you save? Let us count the ways!
Recurring Contributions
Put your savings on autopilot with regular contributions from a link banked account. With recurring contributions, you set the amount and how often you save which helps maximize your contributions.
Online Contributions
Linking a checking or savings account, or using bill pay, are great ways to make one-time contributions.
Direct Deposit
Put a portion of your paycheck directly into your account by setting up a direct deposit with your employer.
Check
When making check contributions, be sure to include the student’s name and account number on the check.
Gifting
Family and friends can give the gift of education in three easy ways – online, by gift card, or by mail.
State Income Tax Refunds
Virginia taxpayers can direct all or part of a Virginia income tax refund directly into one or more accounts. Use Schedule VAC, available from the Virginia Department of Taxation, to direct a contribution.
